The Best Spinach Lasagna Rolls

GOOD LIFE EATS

This Spinach Lasagna Rolls recipe is not one I would call quick, but the flavor makes up for it!

Let’s get started!

Plus, it’s so much easier to serve individual veggie lasagna rollups than cut into a pan of lasagna.

BECHAMEL SAUCE

1

Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes.

WHISK

2

Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk the sauce until it comes to a simmer and is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes.

WHISK

3

Whisk the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the bechamel sauce. Set aside.

FILLING

1.

In a food processor, blend the sundried tomatoes and ricotta until the mixture is mostly smooth, with a few small tomato chunks.

WHISK

2.

Whisk the ricotta mixture, spinach, 1 cup Romano, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley in a medium bowl to blend.

ASSEMBLING

1.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil the noodles until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain.

ARRANGE

2.

Arrange the noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.

BUTTER

3.

Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish or other large casserole dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish.

SPREAD

4.

Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread about 3-4 tablespoons of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle.

ROLL

5.

Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll.

TOP

6.

Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamel sauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture.

SPOON

7.

Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Romano over the lasagna rolls.

BAKE

1. 

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

COVER

2.

Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes.

UNCOVER

3..

Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer.

REST

4.

Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.

SERVE

5.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside, if desired.
